Burial Hex - Initiations

Aurora Borealis is proud to present the newest release from Burial Hex.
Initiations, the debut recording for Aurora Borealis, is a lengthy proposition. Clocking in at one hour thirteen minutes, it represents a journey, a metaphysical odyssey of uncertain outcome. From the psycho-religious clamour of ‘Will To The chapel’ with its jihadic cries, through to the somnambulant, subterranean oscillations of ‘Eight Pentacles’, the way ahead is far from clear, the atmosphere claustrophobic and threatening.
‘The River Of Los’ showcases a new breadth of vision for Burial Hex with layers of undulating analogue synth and
gentle percussion, an opiate addled take on the horror electronics hinted at previously, and perhaps an indication of things to come. This long track takes the listener on a river journey, part Apocalypse Now!, part Orpheus in The Underworld, submerged in Carpenter’s dense Fog, slow moving discomfort and ague. The album ends with the half speed collisions, static miasma and white noise squawl of ~‘Bo -II- Ne’, the listener deposited on shores unknown, prostrate at the feet of the infinite mystery.
Members: Clay Ruby - feedback, voice, PAIA 4700, samples, microphones, homemade oscillators, metal, organs, earth, distortion, delay, insect, reverb, electric piano and analog tape.
CD in deluxe custom cardboard packaging. Fancy "art-edition" vinyl version, with wrap-around silk-screened sleeve on heavy-weight vinyl limited to 500 only!
